  • Crocodile Fishes are lie and wait carnivorous predators that feed on small fish that pass within grasp.  They are masters of camouflage and ambush and often cannot be seen until too late.  Once prey has been sighted they move with lightening fast speed to subdue and kill.  Many varieties of differing colours and sizes.  Spines are usually venomous

  • Lionfish are predatory feeding on small fish which they engulf with their exceptionally large mouths.  Once a prey fish is sighted, the lionfish will wave its feathery arms as it approaches its victim.  When within range the lionfish will spring forward, opening it mouth whilst at the same time sucking in water.  The suction and movement is what captures the prey

  • The Twinspot Goby sports two large circular black coloured spots on its upper fins.  The spots resemble, at a distance, two large eyes that may cause a potential predator to believe the two spots are the eyes of a larger animal, such as a crab.  Furthermore, the spots are located on the fins of the goby; if a predator did attack the fish there is a chance that all it would bite would be some of the fin

  • Lionfish are voracious predators belonging to the scorpionfish family.  The distinctly striped fish uses its long venomous and often feathered fins in such as a way that they appear almost memorising.  Once a prey is sighted, the lionfish will slowly approach and then at the last minute open its cavernous mouth and dart forward with amazing speed.  The opening of the mouth and movement creates a vacuum which sucks into the mouth any unsuspecting prey.  All fifteen species of lionfish (Pterois sp) are venomous

  • Painted Frogfish (Antennarius pictus) Pink Phase - Milne Bay, PNG..Frogfish are lie & wait carnivorous predators.  They have an appendage above their head which is waved about to attract prospective prey.  All frogfish have large mouths are are capable of swallowing prey to their own size.  Rather than swim above the bottom, they walk along the substrate using their pectoral fins.  Frogfish inhabit reef areas to a depth 73 m.  Often within one species there will be several different colour variations or phases; brown, black, yellow, white, yellow, red and orange being the most common.  Some species have hairy variations and maybe covered in numerous small wart-like knobs.  Frogfish have been known to mimic the colours of the surrounding terrain (ie sponges & ascidians).  Variable size depending species.   Length 2 - 30 cm
